I haven't seen somebody shit their pants that bad since... well, since this morning, my kids crap their pants super bad everyday. But a professional soccer team? Brazil started the game with pretty solid intensity and really controlled play. Soon, Germany took back the momentum and scored. It was an ok goal even though Brazil decided that they for some reason did not need to mark The Germans' best player in the box. Whatever, it happens. I hopped out to cruise up the street and meet friends to watch the rest of the game. In the 5 minute walk I saw another German score in the window of Manhattan's Pizza and missed another one. What was going on? I sat down and ordered a beer. Bam Bam!! 2 more super easy goals. The Brazilian team rolled over like a dog on a dead animal carcass. It was embarrassing. They looked like they just didn't care. It would be one thing if that was Costa Rica, or Greenland or something but Brazil? In their home country? 2 more goals in the second half before a meaningless gimme for Brazil in injury time. What a weird weird game. Easily one of the worst defended games I have ever seen and the midfielders must have been on the sideline rocking a caipirinha and huffing butts. Germany is good, will be interesting to see how good against a team that puts up a fight.
On another note, the bar at Veritas pizza is really a quite pleasant place to have a drink. Good beer selection, competent bar tender, nice set up. The garage door was open and a nice breeze was flowing in. They also have a special Long Trail beer on tap that is a mix of the Limbo and Double Bag beers. Deadly. I'll give a thumb and a half and certainly go back.
